Hold onto your bonnets, "Bridgerton" fans, because Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton, aka Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton, just took their on-screen chemistry to a whole new level of steamy. In a recent interview, the pair navigated a minefield of double entendres, suggestive whispers, and flat-out hilarious innuendos, leaving fans wondering if they accidentally stumbled onto the set of a "Bridgerton" after-dark special.
It all started innocently enough. The duo, known for their playful banter and undeniable chemistry, were discussing the highly-anticipated "Polin" romance in the latest season of "Bridgerton." But things took a decidedly NSFW turn when the topic of scones, yes, scones, came up.
"Is it pre-cream or pre-jam?" Coughlan inquired innocently, referring to the proper way to assemble the British teatime treat.
Newton, never one to miss an opportunity for a cheeky response, shot back, "You know you can't keep a good girl down, sure.
Cue the knowing glances, nervous laughter, and a whole lot of blushing from both actors.
And that was just the beginning. Throughout the interview, seemingly innocuous phrases like "holes to holes to holes" and "creamy cakes eaten" sent fans into a frenzy, with social media erupting in a flurry of heart-eye emojis and suggestive GIFs.
The interview reached peak "Bridgerton" levels of scandal when the topic turned to the show's steamier scenes.
"We were loving it," Newton confessed, referring to a particularly passionate encounter between their characters.
Coughlan, ever the professional, quickly interjected, "But you also don't…" before trailing off with a mischievous grin, leaving the rest to the imagination.
Even the show's intimacy coordinator got a shout-out, with Coughlan praising his ability to make the actors feel "empowered" during those close-up moments.
The interview left fans both flustered and delighted, with many wondering if Coughlan and Newton's suggestive banter was entirely accidental or a carefully orchestrated performance designed to drum up even more excitement for "Polin.
"They're fully aware of what they're doing, and I'm here for every second of it," one fan commented on a YouTube clip of the interview.
Another fan chimed in, "This is either the best-produced PR stunt ever, or Nicola and Luke are secretly writing their own version of 'Bridgerton' fan fiction."
Whether intentional or not, one thing's for sure: Coughlan and Newton's interview has certainly set the internet ablaze, proving that when it comes to "Bridgerton," even a seemingly innocent conversation can quickly turn into a scandal worthy of Lady Whistledown herself.
